Hunter Gatherer's
Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.17. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
⬇ Download on CurseForgeThe author built this one for Minecraft 1.17.1 on Fabric. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.




A new adventure begins when you realize the early game is a bit harder.
This mod changes vanilla recipes such as wood and stone tools in order to lock the user into this mod first.
Main change is how you get wood planks. although you could skip the entire mod if you found a village and are lucky with chest loot.
For example to get started you need to craft a campfire but to get there you need to gather items from leaves, grass and gravel. all the way until a crafting table which is also modified.
once you get to the furnace, things get easier again but most importantly. The hard part of this mod makes crafting wood planks harder by requiring a saw or "endgame" stonecutter for better output.
I hope you enjoy the mod.
Any donations are appreciated! Thanks!
There is an in-game guidebook but that requires the Patchouli mod. although not required for this mod to work.
